About Canterbury

Written by the company

Canterbury of New Zealand was established back in 1904 when John Lane, Pringle Walker and Alfred Rudkin began producing woollen garments deep in the Canterbury Province of New Zealand. Before long, they were making uniforms for the army during the First World War, and they earned themselves a reputation for manufacturing tough, durable kit. So much so, the legendary All Blacks rugby team approached them to produce rugby attire in which they could play.

The rest as they say is history; Canterbury of New Zealand outfitted the All Blacks team for over 75 years and is now the largest dedicated rugby brand in the world. Canterbury currently supplies kit to numerous high-profile national rugby teams; England Rugby and Ireland Rugby, as well as leading clubs such as Bath and Ospreys.

The brand has its roots firmly in the southern hemisphere with its spiritual home in New Zealand. The Kiwi heritage strongly influences both the design of Canterbury product and the ethos of the company.

Will not order again.

I ordered 3 items. I received in the mail 3 incorrect items. I then had to pay postage to return the incorrect items before my refund will be issued. The items I ordered are no longer in stock, so I can not order them. I am still waiting waiting on my refund, and have had follow up call and emails with 3 different customer service reps with no continuity of information nor an actual resolution.
During my initial contact, I tried to explain that underneath the address label was another persons address visible which may have been the cause of the error but the customer service representative was not interested in that information.

Junior sizing and website are poor.

Products are decent, but the website is lacking.

Firstly when you go to the junior base layer page it shows just 4 products, when actually there are more - you just have to look for them in different places.

Secondly, some junior products are in ages, ok as the size guide (which isn’t on the product page for ease) explains the chest size that it’ll fit. However the thermoreg range is sized as SB/MB/LB - nowhere on the website explains what age / chest size this will fit. When I opened a chat to ask, I was told it’s small, medium and large - again not helpful as what actual size does an LB fit?! I now have to wait up to two working days to get an answer, really?! No one knows what size a junior MB/LB is?!

Lastly, why are some junior products in SB (small boys), girls play sports too, the England red roses are everywhere yet girls stepping into rugby have to face up to leading companies having archaic sizing systems.

Avoid, Avoid, Avoid - rugby boots don’t fit but company won’t exchange!

Wanted to exchange a pair of £85 rugby boots for a larger size, the website returns page doesn’t work when you type in your order number and postcode, I then tried via email, no response, I then rang them and the guy I spoke to was very unhelpful, I asked to speak to a manager who wasn’t available as in a meeting! Just wanting an exchange but apparently due to DPA I can’t have an exchange and have to have a refund and then re-buy them, Company used Data Protection Act as an excuse as to why they can’t offer exchanges - such lies, I work closely on the Data Protection Act in my workplace and it doesn’t mention anything about refunds or exchanges, they must be mixing this up with the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Won’t purchase from them again or endorse their products with others via my sons every growing Rugby career and contacts
